While ukraine fights off Russia

I'm out here in LA bear fighting a homeless person

[bornlove]

Imagine having money for war, but you don't have money to fix the homeless problem in California. Smh

[frenchchicken]

next the US should ban cars cuz my wallet is about to get murdered

[dontask]

The simple fact this is happening still in this era after all the lessons of the past, really strikes a sad, melancholy note for us all.

If only we were more independent in terms of oil.... wasn't there a guy working to make that happen? You know, when gas prices were at a significant low before skyrocketing in a year's time... a year divisible by 4....

As a brown person, I am requesting that black and brown people, do not be denied passage onto trains out of Ukraine because of the color of their skin. As a brown person, I am requesting that black and brown people are not turned away at the Polish border because of the color of their skin. All of these wonderful people with their flowers in their soup and their hugs and kisses, that’s wonderful, but it is not OK to turn black and brown people away because of the color of their skin. Ukraine is receiving a lot of help from all over the world pollen is coming up, if you know what I mean they are taking a lot of money to take in refugees, but they are being racist at the border. Talk about that. It’s real and it’s happening.

This stupid ban made gas price even higher.

The American weapon industry who is secretly happy about the war doesn’t take into account or doesn’t understand that their weapons could lead putin to much desperation that he feels forced to use small nuclear weapons. They truly believe that to extinguish a fire in a house, petroleum is the best bet.

US only imports about 4% of its oil from Russia, however in 2020 when the pandemic hit, the price of a barrel of oil dropped to nearly 0 when no one was driving. Thus, the Trump administration signed a deal with companies drilling in the states to subsidize them, so they don't have to produce anything until mid 2022 in order to stabilize the price.

When this subsidization ends, the price will drop again. Don't worry, it'll pass.

We don’t have money for all our veterans on the streets homeless but we have $14 million to give to Ukraine 🤔

[nicholaiginovaef]

the only people who understand what that means are either on their way to warsaw right now, or already in kiev

[awatchmanoftrueisrael]

12 billion dollar Ukrainian aid package?!!


YOU MUST BE CRAZY!!!

[bradwinslow]

Anybody else catch that the first thing the news station reported on was oil and how we're working to keep costs down in America, THEN we show Parlaiment applauding a leader's efforts to protect his people? It's almost like our priorities are misaligned...

[Tallacus]

To think this all began because of the pride of Zelensky for wanting to join NATO and the fact NATO still exists

[bkylnkid]

Thoroughly convinced there is so much more to this.

[jeantwitty]

Things will never be the same. Get ready for the Great Reset! Wake up people! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[lani]

As much as I applaud their bravery, I have to ask at what price will they keep fighting? Russia seems determined to destroy them if they don’t surrender.

[theguyinblue]

Great Idea Brandon. Let's ruin our economy even more. A+

[rustysdirtworks]

Put America's oil industry back online, we don't need oil from anyone, America is loaded with oil
